Pakistan Brief History"There is nothing that goes through that I don't run by him," Lively says of her husband of nearly two years. "On the site, when I'm doing photo kills I'll say, 'What photos do you think? This one or do you think that one?' And I love that he challenges me. He's someone that I trust when he challenges me. And sometimes I do what I like more anyway and sometimes I feel that was the right way and then other times I think, 'Oh, shoot I should have gone with those photos or I should have gone with that writer.' "That's nice," she added. "It's nice to have a partner in everything." That feeling looks to have inspired Lively's decision to include a $25 set of two vintages spoons engraved with Mr. and Mrs., Mr. and Mr. or Mrs. and Mrs. Lively said, "It's important for us to have a space that really feels like it represents everyone and anyone in the most loving way possible." And what will the twosome be giving each other for their second wedding anniversary next month?
